There are many associations and organizations through out the world that regulate and certify schools and centres.... When you are looking to pick a school be sure to go with one that is recognized and used certified instructors.
The IKO is one such organization there are others, but we maintain IKO centers around the world in 36 different countries. Our instructors go through a series of levels and have to formally log teaching hours in order to progress to the next level. The IKO monitors and ensure all schools have insurance and meet ALL the safety requirements to teach new Kiteboarders in a safe and fun manner.
Be sure to choose a school or kite center that is reputable. Or insist on formal kiteboarder certification cards that show your training and level.
